    Here's mine

    I just ripped out a video with my pal Bodhi for the X Prize Green Crazy Idea contest. It's at http://www.youtube.com/groups_layout...crazygreenidea and is titled Cheap Energy Production Using Open Source Methods. The subtitle is "We don't need no sciency fictiony energy solutions."

    Sometimes people don't get my humor. It is very dry and I often expect others to see the absurdity in what I'm saying but that doesn't always happen.
